Summary: Polyacrylic acid (PAA) and its derivatives are commonly used as matrices in wound dressings, but their weak wet adhesion limits their clinical application. In this study, a PAA-based coacervate hydrogel with strong wet adhesion capability is created by mixing PAA copolymers with isoprenyl oxy poly(ethylene glycol) ether and tannic acid. The coacervate exhibits solid adhesion to both dry and wet substrates, with an adhesive strength to skin of 23.4 kPa and 70% adhesion underwater. It also possesses desirable self-healing and extensible properties, making it suitable for joints that undergo frequent movement. The coacervate demonstrates antibacterial activity, facilitates fibroblast migration, modulates macrophage polarization, shortens hemostatic time, and promotes collagen deposition, angiogenesis, and epithelialization, suggesting its promising potential as a wound dressing in medical translation.

Summary: The development of hydrogel dressings with injectability, adhesion, antibacterial properties, and wound healing promotion is urgently needed. The design of multifunctional injectable hydrogels based on Ag-doped Mo2C-derived polyoxometalate (AgPOM) nanoparticles, urea, gelatin, and tea polyphenols (TPs) has been presented for antibacterial and wound healing acceleration. The hydrogel exhibits excellent tissue adhesion after injection due to the in situ formation triggered by recombination of TPs and gelatin chains. AgPOM in the hydrogel acts as an antimicrobial agent by generating singlet oxygen and sterilizing under near-infrared light. In vitro studies demonstrate high bactericidal ability against drug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and facilitate wound healing through synergistic photothermal/chemodynamic therapy. Therefore, the injectable hydrogel with AgPOM offers a novel therapeutic agent for drug-resistant bacteria-infected wounds and wound healing promotion.

Summary: Due to antibiotic misuse and the increase in drug-resistant bacteria, it is crucial to develop new antibacterial strategies for treating infected wounds. In this study, stable tricomplex molecules (PA@Fe) were synthesized by combining protocatechualdehyde (PA) and ferric iron (Fe), and embedded in a gelatin matrix to create Gel-PA@Fe hydrogels. The embedded PA@Fe acted as a crosslinker, improving the mechanical, adhesive, and antioxidant properties of the hydrogels through coordination and dynamic Schiff base bonds. It also functioned as a photothermal agent, effectively killing bacteria by converting near-infrared (NIR) light into heat. In vivo evaluation using an infected full-thickness skin wound mice model demonstrated that Gel-PA@Fe hydrogels promoted collagen deposition and accelerated wound closure, indicating their potential in enhancing the healing process of infected wounds.

Summary: Pyroptosis of tumor cells was induced by biGC@PNA with a precisely stoichiometric ratio of Au(I) ion/Au(0) atom through its radiofrequency (RF)-heating effect. The activated pyroptosis resulted in a robust immunogenic cell death (ICD) effect, enhancing the antitumor immune responses and suppressing tumor metastasis and relapse.

Summary: This study developed a small molecular prodrug-based nanomedicine with high drug-loading efficiency and tumor selectivity for the treatment of solid tumors, especially triple negative breast cancers. The nanomedicine actively targeted TNBC 4T1 tumor tissues and achieved reduction-responsive drug release. It significantly suppressed tumor growth and eliminated cancer stem cells by disrupting the tumor microenvironment and consuming intracellular glutathione. This research provides valuable insights for the rational design of prodrug nanomedicines for the treatment of stroma- and CSCs-rich solid malignancies.

Summary: Researchers designed a nanomedicine that specifically targets cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) by conjugating doxorubicin-loaded hydroxyethyl starch-IR780 nanoparticles with a CREKA peptide. The nanomedicine effectively targeted CAFs and generated hyperthermia upon light irradiation, leading to a reduction in CAFs through chemo- and photothermal-therapies. By modulating the tumor mechanical microenvironment (TMME) and eliminating cancer stem cells (CSCs), the growth of the 4T1 tumor was significantly inhibited. This strategy provides a novel therapeutic treatment for desmoplastic solid tumors.

Summary: Various PARPi have been approved for the treatment of breast cancers, but they are only effective for HR-deficient breast cancers. The abnormal micro-environment of breast cancers hinders drug delivery. This study used mesoporous polydopamine to deliver PARPi and a DNA-damaging drug, and demonstrated that local mild photothermal therapy could inhibit the HR repair pathway and repress cancer-associated fibroblasts, thereby enhancing the antitumor effect and improving drug delivery.

Summary: In this study, a novel derivative of lonidamine (LND) called HYL001 was found to selectively and potently inhibit cancer stem cells (CSCs) by targeting mitochondria, with significantly lower IC50 values compared to LND. Mechanistically, HYL001 downregulates glutaminase expression to block glutamine metabolism, leading to apoptotic cell death. HYL001 also displays significant antitumor activity in vivo and represses CSCs in fresh tumor tissues from liver cancer patients.

Summary: This study investigates the composition and properties of liquid PRF prepared at different centrifugation forces. The results show that as the centrifugation force increases, the volume and weight of liquid PRF increase, the fibrin network becomes denser, and the mechanical properties are improved. The number, concentration, and distribution of cells within the liquid PRF also vary with different centrifugation forces. These findings can help clinicians choose proper centrifugation forces based on their needs.

Summary: This work presents a continuous solvent extraction method for the separation of cobalt and nickel in a millifluidic system using Cyphos IL 101 (C101) as the extractant. The optimal conditions for extraction performance and solvent properties were determined by investigating the effects of channel length, flow rate, and temperature. The performance of a developed manifold structure was compared to a single-channel system, and excellent separation results were achieved. The continuous separation process using the manifold structure resulted in high purity cobalt and nickel products.

Summary: The use of machine learning to predict the performance of specific adsorbents in phosphate adsorption shows great promise in saving time and revealing underlying mechanisms. However, the small size of the dataset and insufficient detailed information limits the model training process and the accuracy of results. To address this, the study employs a fuzzing strategy that replaces detailed numeric information with descriptive text messages on the physiochemical properties of adsorbents. This strategy allows the recovery of discarded samples with limited information, leading to accurate prediction of adsorption amount, capacity, and kinetics. The study also finds that phosphate uptake by adsorbents is generally through physisorption, with some involvement of chemisorption. The framework established in this study provides a practical approach for quickly predicting phosphate adsorption performance in urgent scenarios, using easily accessible information.
